Jul 17, 2016Before The Dust SettlesBy: Curtis CrawfordSeries: JudgesWe find in Judges 6:28-32, Gideon has taken the first step in his obedience to God by tearing down the altar to Baal in his father's back yard. He did as God commanded and built an altar to the Lord in its place and made an offering upon it. Before the second sacrifice finished burning, the enemies of God came looking for the one responsible. Gideon's life was threatened immediately for his obedience. He had a choice to make, remain in place, trust God, and be used by Him or run as fast as he could. How do we respond to the enemies immediate attacks when we move forward in obedience to God?

God had promised them ultimate triumph, but they had to trust Him and His time table.

They had triumph waiting for them, but as verse 28 tells us in Judges chapter one, they settled for tribute. Are we doing the same in our lives?
